Thanks to Nick for the suggestion - Hope you like it!

I didn't know this song and House of Love must have passed me by in the 80s but I enjoyed doing it and it gave my Epi Sheraton the chance of a rare appearance.

Destroy the Heart

Wow Pete, that's great.  Love that guitar solo.

You've done the song proud I think.

Coincidently, I finished your suggestion on the weekend, Enjoy the Silence, will be posting shortly.

Don't know the original, but this sounds good. Breezy yet with a bit of edge. A really nice mix, and the fx on the vocal work really well. Cool solo parts too. Great stuff!

I'm not familiar with this tune either but I like it a lot and your version, think I will check out the band and see what else I'm missing.

Great job!!

Back for another listen.  Great version.

Surprised nobody's heard the original.  It was number 1 in the John Peel festive 50 in 1988.  House of Love were huge - weren't they?
